Used Guns (and neat stuff :) For Sale

Updated March 15, 2010

 

Armco's revised drop-in/visiting hours are working well!  Wednesday from 1:00 to 5:30, plus Saturday all day (except 12-1) gives us those times to visit, talk, tinker maybe, have a coffee, without the stress of trying to get a job finished and still keep about three conversations going :)  It has turned out to be a highlight of my week, and I'd like to thank all of you for your support and understanding.  As before if you're traveling through we can make other arrangements  :)  We still take a break from answering the phone on Tuesdays and Thursdays and that has really upped productivity, too!   Thanks, guys!!  (and ladies...  :)

All Prices are in Canadian Dollars and Note!  No foreign (and US) sales - sorry!     Used Guns are all subject to a one week inspection period.  Return prepaid for full refund if not satisfied.

We will also sell your handgun or long gun for a 15% commission (or $50, whichever is higher).  We need it here for inspection before accepting for sale.  We'll sell your presses, shooting gear, and parts, too, at a 25% commission, or by special arrangement on larger items.   Call or email for details.

  Shipping and Tax extra (unless otherwise indicated) - Tax is 12% in BC, 13% in the Maritimes, 5% elsewhere.       Shipping in the $18 to $30 range with  full insurance depending on where you are and the value of the gun....

You may notice the line-up below changes constantly.  Sales have been brisk and a lot of guns don't even make it to this page.   If you have a special item you are looking for, let me know and I'll contact you as soon as something likely shows up.  Well over half of the guns I get have a home already picked out :)

Click on images to enlarge - I usually have lots more pics of the guns below, so just ask!  AND trade-ins always welcome. 

Please note:  We are closed (to phone calls as well) every Tuesday and Thursday to allow us to get your gun work done :)  Due to the sheer volume of messages on the phone, we will also no longer be using voicemail.  If you don't get an answer, try again later (or better yet, email, fax, or PM us :) I sincerely hope this inconvenience will result in more time at the workbench and a lot of happier customers!

This is an almost new Jericho 941 - basically a Baby Desert Eagle with a light rail.  In .40, this is a sweet shooting gun.  Think of it as a decocker Shadow!  Comes with case, 2 mags, Hogue and factory grips - $729 - trades?      
Just finished going over this nice Norinco NZ85 in 9mm.  In some ways better than the CZ it copies - it has the ambi safety  :)  2 mags, stock grips plus Hogues - nice trigger - one year warranty.  $449 - Trades?       
The long-awaited S&W Model 17 is here!  Long target barrel, wide hammer and trigger (gorgeous trigger pull) make this a Premier target 22 revolver.  Condition is easily over 90%, very little use - $749 - Trades?      
Nagant Model 1895 revolver in unissued condition.  There are a few refinished ones available - this one was new!   I sold it to a friend a couple years ago, and he shot about 50 rounds through it - now traded in on a fancy shiny gun  :)  This one is really exceptional, and there is ammo available (for local buyers)...  $399 - Trades?      
What a shooter!  Built right here from a Model 64 with hardly any rounds on it, and a brand new PPC top end with Bomar rib sights.  Miculec kit in it, a velvety smooth trigger, perfect lock-up!  I tested it and thought I only had one hit on the target at 20 meters.  Not so - all six were in a slightly enlarged hole!!  Must have been a fluke  :)  The Hogue exotic wood grips I added sure make it feel nice - and look good!    .38 Special of course - one year warranty - $990 - trades?      
Smith and Wesson Model SW40 Sigma in 40.  These guns are directed at the LE market and currently produced.   They have a nice smooth double action only trigger - 8 lbs - which feels a lot like a well-tuned revolver.  Beautiful shape - I'd estimate well under 500 rounds - 2 mags - $499 - Trades?      
     
     
     
     
     
     
Prohibs:      
     

SW Model 34 in VG+ condition.  This 4" 12(6) Prohib is the target-sighted .22 that used to be known as the "Kit Gun" and was very popular in fishing tackle boxes a few years ago....   Oh, if we could only go plinking grouse with these.  Also makes a fantastic training .22 for kids...$329 - Trades? 

     
Nice Colt Diamondback .38special - 4" so 12(6) prohib - Pachmayr grips, lovely bore and internals.  What looks like cold blue or something at the muzzle is just the camera.  There's a little bluing wear, no retouching  :)   $569 - Trades?      

Nice 1918 Erfurt Luger.  Very good shootable bore, all matching except magazine which is proper for the era.  This is one of the good ones!  $819 - Trades?

      

This Ruger 4" Security Six 357 is in great shape and wears a set of custom Roper grips - slightly altered for left hand use - I like that!  A 12(6) prohib.   Now $279 - Trades?
This Smith and Wesson Model 18 Combat Masterpiece is a 4" .22LR revolver - yes, 12(6) - in VG condition.  Aftermarket grips - shows very few rounds and is very smooth.  Lockup perfect!  $549 - Trades?      
Colt 4" .357 Target model.  This great old gun is the forerunner to the Python and except for the ribbed full lug barrel it lacks, is identical...  Very tight and obviously babied - a Python with the old-time classic Colt look for way less money...Now $399 - Trades?         
Lovely Dan Wesson Model 15 in .357 Magnum.  This is the (prohibited) 2", 4", 6", and 8" set.  Shows few rounds - no wrench or feeler gauge, but relatively easy to get - $749 - Trades?       
This Taurus Model 80 in 38 special is unfortunately only 4" barreled.  Appears almost unfired, in great shape - $189 - Trades?      
Iver Johnson .32 revolver - over 85% factory nickel remaining - works well - I couldn't resist shooting this one (it will shoot .32ACP as well) - $199 - Trades?      
Mauser model 1896 Broomhandle - the Bolo model in 9mm.  A 12(6) Prohib, this is a  fascinating firearm.  Bore poor, original finish gone, appears to have been cold-blued to a brownish colour, shoulder stock is an after-market one.  All the same a neat gun!  $599 - Trades?      
     
LONG GUNS:      
Winchester model 120.  12 Gauge x 2 3/4" or 3", "Winchoke" removable choke tube, this is a pretty useful shotgun in great shape.  - $349 - trades?      
     
Very nice 12 gauge x 3" Remington 1100 Magnum shotgun.  28" Modified barrel, this gun will shoot steel  :)  New, $1100 - $649 - Trades?      
This is a very fancy example of the well-made Felix Sarasqueta O/U 12 gauge shotgun.  Chokes?  Top barrel has one star and the lower one three...Double trigger, ejectors, still very tight, very little use.  From an estate and stored for some time but in beautiful condition.  2 3/4".  $679 - Trades welcome.       
 This Mauser 308 was built by Parker-Hale and is a beauty! The famous smooth controlled-feed Mauser 98 action, wonderful wood (very nice palm-swell pistol grip),   Bore is absolutely lovely - $539 - Trades?      
Lovely Swedish Mauser 96 in 6.5x55 Ackley Improved....Great bore, Lots of extras on this one, custom Dayton-Traister pieces include safety, cock-on-closing kit, and trigger, and the bird's eye maple stock is just gorgeous - VG action -comes with custom RCBS dies $499 - Trades?  This belonged to a friend locally and it really shoots well!  Lovely trigger pull - great feeling gun!      
Anschutz "Achiever" - a lovely youth-oriented .22LR rifle with a superb 3-9 Leupold Vari-X scope with parallax adjustment. Adjustable buttstock length, easily comes down to a 10-year-old size... $1080 complete - $690 without scope and rings - Trades?  This is a very classy, incredibly accurate rifle with the best .22 scope available!      

"Large-Frame" 1881 Marlin in .45 Gov't (45-70).  Dates from around 1884, I'd say.  Bore usable but not shiny, action tight and functional, wood has been refinished at some point, and a recoil pad added.  A shame as that likely took $500 at least off the value.  $879 - Trades?  This would make a great Cowboy action gun with lighter black powder loads...

      

This neat old Savage 99 is chambered in .303 Savage caliber and although perfectly shootable, the bore shows a bit of corrosion.  Someone has soldered the adjustment screw on the tang sight - pretty fixable. The barrel band is homemade but removable.  A fixer-upper but such a cool rifle!  $299 - Trades?

      
Brand new unfired stainless steel  Thompson Center "Greyhawk" in .54 caliber.  I have some Pyrodex powder (local buyers only - I won't ship it) and bullets as well - ask!     $399 - Trades?      
This authentic Lee Enfield No 5 "Jungle Carbine" doesn't have a bright shiny bore any more.  A shooter but barely (I always hate to shoot these frosty bores except with reduced loads because they really raise pressures...)  A great old gun all the same - $439 - Trades

Winchester Lightweight Model 70 in 270  A post 64 this gun gas certainly been used but has a lot of mule deer still in its future.  Bore no longer shiny but  looks pretty decent yet and is apparently still accurate.  - Laminated stock - $399 - trades? 

A sniper rifle on a budget!  This H&R model SB2 Ultra is a tack-driver.  In .223 with a fluted match barrel, Tactical type stock, special 6-18 223 scope with turrets for 50, 55, and 62 grain bullet.   I have my bipod on it for looks only- but it sure does dress it up  :)  Under 100 rounds, this gun had a trigger shoe on it when I got it and it did mark up the trigger guard as you can see,  Easily fixable.   Without bipod - $399 - trades?  Sold Pending arrival of buyer  :)

 

      
     
     
Guns in this section sold or on hold:      
     
     
This older rifle has real class!  A Heym conversion of a military 98 Mauser in 30-06, this gun is graceful and comes up so nice!  Great bore, solid wood, 100/200M express sights, receiver is drilled and tapped and it comes with bases and rings. $419 - trades? SOLD  :)      
This Smith and Wesson Model 686-4 is tuned and smoothed to perfection (we couldn't resist  :)  Trigger pull is actually smoother than my own 610 Competition revolver!  Very few rounds - I'd estimate well under 1000 .38 Specials - case and accessories - $769 - trades?  Sold  :)      
This lovely STI Hard Chrome Edge in .40 S&W is like new.  I have to keep checking the tag to make sure I'm not holding the new one from the showcase  :)  Sold, tuned, and prepped here.  Gun, case, one mag - $2149.  With the six mags - $2499 - add the holster - $2549.  Trades welcome of course  :)  SOLD  :)
       
Mossberg 12 gauge Silver Reserve shotgun.  Lovely condition, removable chokes - $569 - Trades?  Sold  :)      
Here is a one-of-a-kind bullseye/target, NRA Action, and "just plain fondle and shoot" revolver.  Built in 2004 on an S&W K frame by Cylinder & Slide in Nebraska, it has everything, including chamfered and numbered chambers.  Bar-Sto ported stainless barrel and underlug, Aristocrat rib and sights, Hogue grips, the C&S Roller Action trigger is the best I've ever felt - in .38 Special and test fired only - over $2000 invested in parts alone - Now $999 - Trades?    ON HOLD  :)      
A nice pre-B target type CZ75 in 9mm.  This gun was fitted with Millett Target sights and sports a nice trigger pull.  Internals show very little wear.  2 mags - $499 - Trades?  Gone, pending funds  :)      
 Unheard of these days - an Unfired Liberator!  The nicest I've seen - except for a teensy bit of darkening at the bottom of the right side, it is as it left the factory :)  These small 45acp single shot pistols carried spare ammo in the butt, had an unrifled barrel and were dropped behind enemy lines during WW2.  Intended to be used as assassination weapons, once a "real" gun was collected, this was passed on to another resistance fighter.  At war's end, they were (almost :) all gathered up and crushed, so usually we only see the odd rusty relic...   $1095 - trades?   SOLD  :)
Comanche Commemorative Winchester - unfired, no box - Now $399 - Trades?  For this price you can cover it in Camo paint and go hunting if you don't want the bling!!  SOLD  :)

This is a really nice post-war Universal M1 Carbine in the restricted barrel length.  One magazine (original) - $429 - Trades?  Now sold  :)      
This Smith and Wesson M&P in .40 has seen only 50 rounds.  Still not broken in, it comes with the case - and the medium grip inserts - what almost everyone uses.  The others are missing...I can find some if needed  :)  $569 - Trades?  Now gone!      
I already have one or I'd keep this - and I've had this one for three weeks trying to decide  :)  A VERY nice S&W Model 49 "Bodyguard".  Shows very little carry wear - and appears barely fired.  I really like these, although mine has Boot Grips on it - these grips sting!  $329 - Trades?  Oh, yeah - definitely 12(6)  :)  Sold  :)      
This Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle is a .50 Caliber top-of the-line Black Powder rifle - not your average replica just banged out!  As-new inside and out - belonged to a fellow club-member here and was barely fired.  $569 - Trades?  Gone  :)
